The Season of Excuses Is Here… Stand Out (Monday Motivation)

Simon Johnson

19d • 🧠 Coaches Tips

This time of year is when most people let their standards slip…

Cold weather, busy schedules, and Christmas parties can suddenly trigger the all-or-nothing mindset.

But here’s the truth: With 38 days left until Christmas, you could easily undo months of hard work.

Not because you’re weak…But because you stop doing the basics.

While everyone else is drowning in celebrations, booze and excuses, we’re different.

We keep promises to ourselves.

We hold a minimum standard. Because your body is a reflection of the standards you live by.

And two guys inside this coaching team prove what standards look like:

🔥 Scott Huston: With us for over 2 years, he has never had a week with fewer than three workouts. Ever. That’s not motivation… that’s a non-negotiable, a promise he refuses to break.

🔥

@Jayson Nitish Bhadye

- life throws ups, downs, stress, chaos… and he STILL shows up. Are his sessions perfect every time? No. But he never misses because showing up is his standard.

These guys aren’t lucky.

They’re not “more motivated.”

They live by the identity they’ve set for themselves.

This week, I want YOU to establish your own non-negotiables, the minimum that keeps you progressing (or at worst, maintaining):

Ask yourself:

👉 “What’s the minimum I need to do this week to feel good, maintain momentum, and keep my standards high?”

Now drop your 3 non-negotiables below.

Public commitment = follow-through.

Let’s dominate the final stretch of the year. 🔥
